You could do this a few ways. The bottom is most efficient by far.
note run the "find case lint" component of 
http://freashmeat.net/projects/fslint if you're worried about loosing
files where there is a case clash

-------------------------------------------

find root_of_cd -depth -exec mv {} `echo {} | tr A-Z a-z` \;
 
-------------------------------------------
 
#!/bin/sh
#pass either filenames or nothing
#note doesn't touch directories

if [ $# = 0 ]
then
	FILES=$(find -type f -maxdepth 1)
else
	FILES="$@"
fi

for FILE in $FILES
do
  DEST=$(echo $FILE | tr A-Z a-z)
  if [ "$DEST" != "$FILE" ] #if file already lowercase
  then
	  mv -i "$FILE" "$DEST" #-i prompts for confirmation (-f is
opposite)
  fi
done

-------------------------------------------

find -depth \( -type f -o -type d \) |
grep -E "/[^/]*[A-Z]+[^/]*$" |
sed -e '
{
    h
    y/ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz/
    G
    s/\(.*\)\n\(.*\)/"\2" "\1"/
}' |
xargs -r -n2 mv
-------------------------------------------
